Help for Pittsburgh and Allegheny County

UNDERSTANDING YOUR OPTIONS

Pittsburgh Construction Accident Lawyers: What We Review

What happened at the worksite?

Falls from ladders or scaffolds, struck-by incidents, equipment failures, trench accidents, electrical injuries, and unsafe site conditions can have different causes. Identifying the task, equipment, employer, and other contractors is an important first step.

Workers’ compensation and third parties

Workers’ compensation may cover medical treatment and part of lost wages for an eligible employee regardless of fault. A separate claim against a negligent third party may be possible in some cases. The facts and the identity of each responsible business matter.

Evidence that can disappear

Photographs of the scene and equipment, incident reports, witness names, safety records, subcontractor information, and medical documentation can help reconstruct what happened. Keep copies of what you have and seek medical care promptly.
